Every wine critic, journalist, blogger or home enthusiast tells a similar story about the origins of their passion. To some, that story could begin with a simple Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc. Others could trace it back to the moment they uncorked a 1971 Domaine de la Romanee Conti La Tache. The story that each of us tells about 'The Bottle That Changed Everything' is so unique, and so intensely personal that it is impossible to pinpoint the precise elements required to achieve the epiphany; the moment of clarity that converts us from indifferent, apathetic wine drinkers into true enthusiasts. It is rare that you will find it if you are looking for it, because it will never quite be what you expect.
